If you want something to play with, go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive and I'm not a little boy
If you are serious, don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then a baby I will, girl you know that I will

Tell it like it is, don't be ashamed, let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside me
I believe that you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby go on and live

Tell it like it is, I'm nothing to play with, go and find yourself a toy
Tell it like it is, my time is too expensive and I'm not a little boy

(Saxophone solo)

Tell it like it is, don't be ashamed, let your conscience be your guide
But I... Deep down inside me
I believe that you love me, forget your foolish pride
(Tell it like it is) Got to tell it, tell it, ooh
(Tell it like it is) Forget your foolish pride, got to believe that you love me
(Tell it like it is) Don't play with my heart, baby.
